M&S have launched a brand new made-to-measure shirt service through their website and it’s fun fun fun!You have a range of options to choose from. The first is the type of fabric, which seems to dictate the price (£30-£49.50 – bargain!).

Heard of The First Barbarians? Me neither! Apparently they’re the band that Ronnie Wood formed after leaving the Faces and before joining the Stones.

I’m a big fan of Patrick Wolf, his unique style and interesting take on pop music make him stand out from the regular template of ‘4 guys and a guitar’ indie bands. In a recent interview with the Metro he explained : ‘I wanted to communicate visually as well as musically but, when I left home at 16, I didn’t …

I mean marvel at his art collection! Some more Marc Jacobs for you, Philip Lorca DiCorcia took some gorgeous shots of the designer in his home for W magazine’s November issue.

It seems that Tranny and Spewsannah, have tired of thinking up new things for women to have complexes about and have turned their gorgon gaze onto men. But because men are little better than amoeba, they’re keeping it really simple. These broads have written whole books detailing a brand new lexicon of shapes to describe women’s insecurities; we men get …

The football star has just signed on to be the newest err… face of Giorgio Armani’s underwear collection, which is set to launch in the U.S. Beckham was busy shooting the ad campaign last week in L.A. with Mert Alas …

Have you all seen what’s happened to Marc Jacobs lately? He’s gone from being the shy, nerdy almost invisible man behind the label (left, 2006) to a sort of manga version of Tom Ford (right, 2007): all tanned muscles, blue hair and budget tattoos (M&Ms anyone?). By his own admission, he’s having a mid-life crisis, but he says he’s enjoying …

I don’t get Mika. I don’t get his music, I don’t get him in interviews, I don’t get his dated ‘showman’ posturing, his constant mugging to camera or his self-satisfied manner. That’s all, of course, fine: I don’t have to like him. But what really bothers me is that I don’t get is why he doesn’t look better. He’s got …

It seems a bit odd to me to do a sequel to a historical biopic. I feel like if we were that bothered about finding out what the future held for our Liz we could’ve read a history book. Still, for all those who’ve spent the past 9 years wondering what happened next, Tuesday night saw the UK premiere of …

I’ve just been browsing the pictures of the attendees of Swarovski Fashion Rocks on Thursday night as they arrived for this night of fashion and music in aid of the Prince’s Trust. It makes you realize what an odd existence it must be to be a celebrity, posing in unnatural positions in an outfit you didn’t choose. It also made …

Whilst Topshop have H&M trumped when it comes to celebrity ranges, H&M have had good quality ranges by Viktor & Rolf and now they have a new range by Roberto Cavalli. As Cavalli is usually known for his garish exotic prints, I can’t say I was particularly looking forward to this range, but I’m pleasantly surprised by his understated …

Not satisfied with simply reviving their singing careers, the lads from Take That have also been put in charge of reviving menswear at Marks & Spencer.

Made by Michael Gondry? What, this video? Really? I never would have guessed that the director of surreal films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep and of surreal music videos for Bjork and Daft Punk could ever come up with something as head-achingly weird as this. I can’t even tell what this is advertising, …

We’d seen the Kubricks, watched reports spill in from all around the world as it went to launch, then, today, the big one dropped through the letterbox at Shiny Towers. Yes, Halo 3 is finally here.
